Metro-East man files lawsuit after bus collision

A man whose vehicle was rear-ended by a Madison County Transit District bus last year has filed a negligence law suit against the transit district and the driver.

Alphonzo Gordon claims that he was injured on Jan. 9, 2009, after the 1998 green and white transit bus ran into the back of his vehicle. Both vehicles were in the eastbound lanes of University Drive in Edwardsville.
